The Vlad Listyev murder.

RepublicBroadcasting.org


...On March 1st the day after Berezovsky paid a second Mob Boss, Vlad Listyev was shot in the back at the entrance of his home.

Guilty as sin, with a confession against Badri and then being personally witnessed offering another mob boss money Boris was desperate. He was inches away from being arrested. Boris’s TV network was cut out of government subsidies after the police raided it and it was subject to bankruptcy. Fellow Media giant and friend Ruppert Murdoch promised to invest in the network and bail him out. How nice. And we all know where Murdoch stands.

But here is the real kicker. It is just as outrageous and far fetched as the Litvinenko poisoning. Boris concocted a story for Yeltsin which was recorded on video tape produced by Irina Lesnevskaya a producer at ORT and a friend of Yeltsin’s wife. The tape claimed that it was all a big conspiracy against Berezovsky and that the real culprit (who had no motive other than to frame Boris [apparently able to hire a gun to kill Vlad but not Boris?]) was none other than his bitter rival Gusinsky of Most Bank who Boris had already tried to kill once.

Yeltsin was paranoid of Gusinsky’s political ambitions and Boris knew this. Boris also blamed X-KGB and said that Vlad was killed by the Most group and not the mob Boris was witnessed meeting with a week after Vlad was going to break his monopoly. (Sounds like "Iraq moved the non existent WMDs to Syria just to make the US look bad", give me a break) Boris claimmed to be set up for being loyal to Yeltsin.

Yeltsin ever a partner in cover ups not to mention a drunk and a thief, (see my Yeltsin rant) got Boris out of trouble once again by firing the lead investigators in the case which intimidated others to drop it. There was a huge public outcry. A TV personality had been killed. ORT created a new company called ORT advertising with a monopoly to sell ads on commission no less and the boss-man chosen was none other than Sergei Lisovsky. Wow how utterly shameless.
